New Life, Old Enemies

Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York.

An elderly woman was lying on a bed in the intensive care unit, and next to her was a tall, strong young man.

Just looking at their age, the two could be seen as grandmother and grandson, but in the man's eyes one could notice many feelings, sadness, longing, regret, but mainly love. To observers it might seem like a very strange scene.

"Steve... It's great that you have good hope."

The lady looked at this figure that she had lost 70 years ago, and her words obviously returned to the past.

"Handle..."

Steve Rogers, on the other hand, just held his hand, his expression was gentle, but his eyes were full of guilt and sadness.

Ever since he woke up in this world after 70 years, he has felt that everything is strange.

He still has the powerful super soldier body, he can still fight, but the world is free of Hydra now, the war is finally over, and his power is no longer needed.

And now, after seeing that the love of his life was about to die, Steve couldn't help but feel the cruelty of time.

"Don't forget, you still owe me a dance."

"Of course, when you get better... I'll dance with you."

The whispered words created a heavy atmosphere....

"Hey you two - don't make the mood so sad."

An unknown voice could be heard, and it was soon followed by the sound of the door opening, this whole situation left Captain America stunned for a moment, after recovering, he could notice the three people who entered the room, suddenly.

"Agent Coulson, who are these two?"

Captain America obviously hadn't been introduced to Tony and Asher, so he also looked at Coulson with some confusion - according to Nick Fury, his identity was supposed to be kept secret.

"Captain, this is Tony Stark and Asher Oaks, they both...Know our line of work well."

Coulson was still excited to be in the presence of his idol, so his speech started to become awkward.

"...What do you mean? By knowing our line of work well?"

Asher and Tony gave Coulson a dismayed look.

"Stark? Tony? What's the relationship between Howard Stark and you?"

However, Steve, can he catch something of what Coulson had here, especially after hearing Tony's nickname, he can't help but ask.

"Howard Stark was my father."

After receiving the reply from Tony, the Captain was very happy, even if it wasn't his old friend it was still good to find a familiar name: "It's good to meet you, I was friends with your father."

"…"

Then Tony took a good look at the Captain he had in his hand, still in his prime, remembering his father, Tony found the situation very incongruous.

"Captain, we're actually here to..."

Coulson stepped forward, trying to explain to him why they were here, after understanding the situation better, the Captain looked at Asher in description after hearing this, "Mister Asher, can you really help Peggy..."

"Of course, Coulson here asked me for a personal favor, and in the end it's not really difficult to help in this situation."

Asher nodded directly.

"How long will the treatment last...How long will it take to restore Peggy's health?"

The Captain, on the other hand, looked at Asher expectantly.

"According to my speculation, the treatment should last a few minutes..."

Beside Tony, he was about to report how Celebi's treatment went, but was immediately interrupted by Asher.

"Tony, do you really think that after all this time, Celebi's power is still the same as before?"

Asher looked at Tony, and then with one movement, Celebi appeared on his shoulder.

"Mister Asher, is that?"

Steve stood to the side and looked curiously at Celebi on Asher's shoulder.

He was surprised by the creature's cute appearance, but with the experience of waking up after being frozen for 70 years in a completely alien world, Steve wasn't surprised for long.

"Captain, if you want, you can call me Asher..."

Asher relayed to Captain America, and then nodded slightly to Celebi.

"Biii!"

Celebi naturally understood what Asher meant, so the little guy gently flew from Asher's shoulder, to near Peggy Carter's bed.

"Ah... Such a cute little one."

Looking at Celebi's cute appearance, Peggy showed a gentle smile.

"Biii!"

Celebi, on the other hand, let out a crisp cry and stretched out her small hand.

And then....

"Buzz!"

An indescribable power emerged from her small body.

Peggy, as an ordinary human being of advanced age, could not detect the change, even Tony without his armor's sensors could not detect this surge of energy, but Steve could, his enhanced senses allowed him to perceive the change in the environment.

Therefore, he focused his attention on what he was celebrating with Peggy at this moment.

About thirty minutes later....A magical scene can be seen.

"Wow!"

While Tony murmured in surprise, Captain America watched in amazement at the miraculous change that happened to Peggy.

With every second her face changed, the wrinkles and marks of time disappeared, gradually revealing the face of a woman in the prime of her years.

In just a few moments, the face of an elderly woman was replaced by the face of a young man Steve remembered well - it was the face of the young Peggy to whom Steve promised a dance before his last mission.

"It's just... It's just... It's a miracle."

The Captain's eyes were wide open, it was hard to believe what was happening in front of them.

"Hey, Asher - You really surprise me every time."

Tony, on the other hand, looked at Asher.

"Steve!"

It was also at this time that Peggy, who had regained the appearance and strength of when she was young, sat up from the hospital bed, and directly pulled out the various tubes connected to her body and hugged the Captain tightly.

Of course, the two who could hug each other after seventy years couldn't help but be extremely excited, but even with all the euphoria, the two soon came to their senses.

After the two hugged for a while, the Captain and Peggy walked to Asher's side together.

Steve himself is a restrained person who doesn't know how to express his feelings, while Peggy, as a founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., gives more of a strong image, but above all controlled, so even though they were both very grateful, the commotion generated was not great.

Peggy didn't express her gratitude with some exaggerated speech, but got straight to the point: "Mr. Asher, if you need anything in the future?" As long as it doesn't violate what I believe in, you can count on me. "

Hearing what Asher was told, he ended up forming a plan in his mind.

"There's actually something you can help me with, something very simple – and I guarantee you'll be happy to do it."

Tang Lin smiled: "There is a certain organization that has been bothering me, and I believe that both you and the Captain are quite familiar, does the name Hydra sound familiar to you?"
